Trade Summary

Reports from all the leading trade
centres indicate an exceptionally excel
lent outlook in the course of general
trade from the events of the past week.
The trade skies are especially clear.
What few labor troubles exist are con-
fined to narrow circles and are very
local in their character The situation
abroad is such as to warrant the Ameri-
can Industry and Commercial world in
making more than their customary
advance. Business everywhere is fairly
crowding the markets and prospects are
of the brightest and best.
The iron market is quiet but verv
firm. This has been its leading char
acteristic for weeks past. Increasing
productive capacity lessons the fear of
higher prices, and it is openly said that
prices will not be as strong in thirty
days for late deliveries as they are now.
Steel rail orders for the week have been
comparatively trihing and actual orders
placed are light. The pig iron market

Coca Culture.

Coca, a shrub growing wild on the
mountains of Peru and Bolivia, is coming
into extensive cultivation en- account of
the rapidly increasing demand for CO.
caine, the principal alkaloid obtained
from its leaves. The plant resembles
the tea-plant, is cultivated in rows
like Indian corn, and in two years at
tains its full height of five or six feet,
bearing leaves about two inches long,
with white blossoms and red berries.
The leaves are gathered several times a
year, and the bushes produce for many
years. The peculiar virtues Of coca as
nerve stimulant have long been
known, not only to medical men, but to
the Peruvian Indians and miners, who
chew the leaves mixed with quick lime,
much as tobacco is chewcd, and who
are thus enabled to resist fatigue to a
remarkable degree. 1t was not until
1860, however, that the active princi-
pie was isolated, while the great yaue

accidentally discovered only some three
